Summary

The hunting federations in the different regions have been tracking the transpyrenean migration of wood pigeons for the last twenty years. For the last two, this work, which is under the supervision of the International Group for Wild Fauna Research (GIIFS), has brought together professionals from the Federations in Aquitaine, Midi-Pyrénées and the Basque Country. Five observation points have been set up to control migration on the Western side of the Pyrenees. A previous study enabled us to determine that from 82 to 84% of the migration was carried out in this area. The number of birds observed during the migration was later compared with the number of wintering birds observed in the Iberian Peninsula.
